When patching your game, you need to overwrite everything. Skipping or renaming doesn't work.

Ready for another Ironforge BOTM?
Here's how this works. Every participant creates a bot that follows the given bot restrictions for that month. They then create a simple splash for their bot and uploaded it to GTM's BOTM Uploader before the deadline expires. After the deadline expires, a poll will be created for the community to vote on their favorite entry. At the end of the month, the splash with the most votes will be put on GTM's homepage for a month. Bot Restrictions
Splash Rules
Unfortunately, it looks like signups for this BOTM have closed. Please check out the Bot of the Month board for one that is still active. Questions/comments? 183

Everything seems to be working.
The "this webpage is not available" message usually implies that there is an issue on the client side. Does it still appear to be broken for you? 186

Only two days left before the poll. You haven't started your entry yet, you should definitely be thinking about it.

Welcome to GTM, javert. You should consider creating an account. There are lots of advantages to becoming a member like tournaments and contests.

No, you did nothing wrong. The forum software thought your account looked suspicious so it was waiting for me to approve it. Thanks for your patience. I went ahead and approved your account so you should be good to go now.

General Support / Re: Robot turning its back when trying to attack opponent (Stock AIing« on: January 19, 2015, 05:54:02 AM »It maybe the line of code saying weapons has incorrect values and it is using something in the back as the weapon. Download notepad ++ and see what the values in weapons are corresponding with your bot.The position of the weapons listed doesn't impact the movement of the bot. The list of weapon IDs is used for switching tactics after running out of weapons. Sadly, we don't use them for much else and many AI.py files have broken implementations (meaning the bot doesn't switch tactics even though there is code for it to do so). As Lemonism pointed out, Apanx's Bot Exporter is handy for checking component IDs but you could do it manually by counting from top to bottom the components (the IDs go in order). The component ID of the chassis is 0. It sounds like your LeftRight control is wired backwards. 194

General Support / Re: How to edit a botfile to make it's burst motor have an 180 degree arc?« on: January 06, 2015, 07:46:12 AM »
Wordpad is what is known as a word processor. Its good for formatting documents that look good for humans. What you see on screen does not necessarily reflect the contents of the file.
Notepad is a text editor. It doesn't allow for any text formatting but that is exactly what you need when programming because things like italics generally don't mean anything to a compiler or interpreter. When you open a file in a text editor, you are viewing exactly whats in the file. Neither Notepad nor Wordpad support all of the characters found in a bot file so you'll need to find one that does since the bot file contains TGA data for the skin and preview image. Most of the people here use Notepad++ but there are plenty of other options if you can't get it to work. That said, you shouldn't get any error if you install Notepad++ by downloading and extracting the ZIP instead of the executable. 197

Sorry for the delay. I've been kind of busy the last few days so I wasn't able to put this out as early as I had hoped. I pushed the deadline for the poll back so that you'll still have roughly 5 days of voting.
